"Important for Singapore, Malaysia to find 'win-win solutions': Heng Swee Keat
SINGAPORE: It is important for Singapore and Malaysia to find win-win solutions that benefit the people of both countries, said Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat on Tuesday (Jan 8) following a meeting of both sides' foreign affairs ministers on ongoing airspace and maritime disputes.
Mr Heng's comments came hours after both countries decided to simultaneously suspend Malaysia's permanent restricted area in the airspace over Pasir Gudang and Singapore's implementation of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) procedures for Seletar Airport.
He also revealed that he and Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean had met Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in Putrajaya last week to discuss the disputes between Singapore and Malaysia before Tuesday's meeting."
As with all matters of importance n significance, a lot of work go behind the scenes before the "official" meeting takes place.
So, glad to know Minister Heng n DPM Teo met Tun Dr M last week to lay the groundwork.
A start. No need to read into who give up more at this stage.
Hope the final outcome is truly win-win as this is not a game. It involves the harmonious co-existence of 2 long time separated twins!!
